PREFERENCES
Preferences — Application — Undo
Windows only. 
Use the Undo pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
control Multiple Undo options.
Use the Redo Key drop-down menu to specify which keyboard command •
invokes the Redo command.
Use the Maximum History Actions field to specify the number of actions that •
you can store in your undo history. The undo history can hold as many as 100
actions.
Preferences — Application — Open and Save
Use the Open and Save pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu) to customize how the application saves and performs backups.
Check Auto Save to protect your work from system or power failure. When this •
option is checked, the application automatically records changes to a temporary
file in your project folder after a specified time interval. Enter the interval (in
minutes) in the Every minutes field. You can specify a minimum time interval
of .25 minutes. When Auto Save is checked, the default setting is Every 5
minutes. The application does not overwrite the original file until you manually
save (File > Save). When you open the project after a system interruption, the
application displays an alert indicating that the project will be restored to the
last auto-saved version.
Check Auto Backup and enter a value in the Keep revisions field to retain as •
many as 100 revisions of a project. Each time you manually save (File > Save),
the application copies the previous manually saved version to the Destination
folder you specify. The default setting for Auto Backup is unchecked. Click
Project Folder to store revisions in the same folder with the project. Click Other
Folder and then click Browse to choose a different folder for storing revisions.
Consecutive numbers are added to the file name for each backup. When the last
revision is created (for example, 5 of 5), the oldest revision in the folder is
deleted. To retrieve a backup from the destination folder, simply open the
revision file.
Check Save Layout Position if you want the application to automatically •
remember the size, position, and proportions of your project window.
In the Find/Change History section specify maximum number of search/replace •
history instances. The maximum value is 20. The default value is 10. If you set
the value as 0, then no search/ replace history will be saved.
Check Save Article Position if you want the application to automatically •
remember the size, position, and proportions of your article window.
Under Non-Unicode Support, choose an option from the Encoding drop-down •
menu to indicate how the application should display characters in non-Unicode
text.
